CANADA Canada - Audrey Gleave, 73, Ancaster ON, 30 Dec 2010 #3

[No_Stone_Unturned]

Shifting gears for a moment ... I read that AG took pictures of PK working on the property.

Have these pictures been made public? I'm also curious as to what was worked on, as AG's property didn't look particularly manicured -- I know it was winter, but if there are flower beds, etc., you would have been able to see the outlines from the aerial views of the home. There wasn't that much snow on the ground at the time.

Maybe PK just got rid of broken tree branches, etc., but I was under the impression AG was into all types of gardening??

Yes, another discrepancy (I've gone blank here - I hope this spelling is correct!):doh: PK told us (and Jon Wells, I think) that Audrey went into intricate details about flowers. Oh I know, PK said that at AG's funeral! Where were these flower beds?:waitasec:

Quoted from nicgumshoe:

In one post he said,

"I spoke to Audrey on December 25 just to check in on her and see how she was feeling and also to reschedule my coming over to Thursday morning. I called her on Thursday morning to let her know I was running a bit late with no response."


The "with no response" can be read two ways:
- Audrey was already dead, hence 'no response'
- Audrey didn't want people coming over on that day for some reason

But again - How do we know the truth?

I agree. While the Wells story would lead us to believe she was murdered in the early hours of the 29th (when the neighbor's dog barked) I wonder if LE's
window of opportunity for PK was actually on the 30th.

I one article it mentions that she did in fact contact someone from the coffee group to say she wouldn't be there. If that's true, then we have more reason to believe she could have been killed after Wednesday.

The part about the eyes still begs to be answered. If she was killed 1-2 days before PK arrived, I strongly suspect the eyes wouldn't appear normal, dark and staring back as PK mentioned. ie: They would actually be hazed over either by the normal natural hazing process that occurs with death, or by freezing of the eye fluids in that cold weather.

If she was killed much before his arrival and her eyes were wide open, he would know instantly by the look of them that she was very dead, and would not need to go back to check for a pulse.

Many apologies, but I don't know what you mean by this:

PK mentioned in a post that he's a "person of interest" because he had opportunity. I'm wondering if LE think his opportunity was on Thursday, the 30th.

Not to put negative emphasis on a charity event, I just wanted to comment on my previous posted link of a halloween event.I was a little astounded and concerned about the sight of (simulated) female figure on right side of video with obvious sexual assault with ax or hatchet.....

 

[No_Stone_Unturned]

Audrey's murder has been in my thoughts all day long (even whilst at the hair salon!) Perhaps it's because this weekend we have our clocks 'fall back' making our area of the world darker, sooner.

How about MOTIVES?

Here's what I've come up with (please add to the list):
1. Jealousy/hatred of her superiour intellect. (Kind of likely)
2. Anger that "an old woman" drove a sexy, hot car. (Unlikely)
3. An unfulfilled sexual desire for her which was unable/impossible to satisfy. (Possible)
4. A psychopathic stalker/watcher/aquaintance/friend who 'lost it' one day. (Possible)
5. Someone who was known to her. (Definitely)

Anything else............:chillout:

OK, many thanks!

ETA: And more than "opportunity" - "look young and look close".

Right, I know what you mean. I was also upset/concerned about that.

I'm thinking #4 is it, maybe in combo with #1 or #3. #5 for sure too.

Maybe also:

6) A love triangle gone wrong, with a Harold and Maude component.
7) Threat of exposure. She knew something that someone didn't want her to tell.
8) Someone picked the wrong house. ie: they actually meant to go to a different house in the area, after someone else.
9) (like #4) An argument over anything, and then Mr. Hyde emerged from her trusted guest.

I like #7 nicgumshoe, or a variation of it. Maybe she was due some credit for an idea and it wasn't going to happen. Then again, maybe she didn't have the chance to know she would be due some credit.

Forgive me because I know nothing about estates but assuming there wasn't a mortgage on the house wouldn't the 425 grand it sold for be part of the estate?

Yes Canadian it was, but I'm talking from the stand point that if AG was still alive, I don't think $50,000.00 was a lot of money. Sorry, I should not have used the word estate originally, as I was thinking more about in life she only had $50,000.00 unless she was to sell her home and invest that money. Wrong choice of words on my part -- I apologize for that.

Wrt PK's papers, etc. ( link )

He had two papers published: one was called “Dynamic binary translation to a reconfigurable target for on-the-fly acceleration,” which involved applications for diagnostic imaging in medicine. He gave a bound copy of the paper to Audrey as a gift. She was delighted with the gesture and invited him over to talk about his work.​

PK & another individual gave a presentation "Dynamic Binary Translation to a Reconfigurable Target for On-the-Fly Acceleration" at the June 2011 ACM conference in San Diego. The paper is two pages long, has nothing to do with medical imaging, has more to do with the issue of portability as it relates to CPU architecture... which is considered an ongoing problem in the field of software engineering. His master's thesis, "NoC-based FPGA Acceleration for Monte Carlo Simulations with Applications to SPECT Imaging," is 20 pages, and is referring to accelerating image reconstruction. In both graduate papers, he focuses upon utilizing Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) for acceleration. He def favors FPGAs, which is understandable due to their malleability. In any event, the latter is the paper he apparently had bound, and presented to Audrey ( email correspondence w/author ). As a side note, PK also has a 57 page, May 2010, capstone paper for his bachelors, titled, "Design of a Rapid Prototyping Platform for Applications in Physiological Signal Processing" ( link ) This paper is more about DSP & Prosthetics. Interesting stuff. This project is also likely how he got into the FPGA schtick. That is, becoming noticeably enamored with that particular tech. Which is neither here nor there, of course.

That said, Audrey's long-time friend mentioned that she got into computers in the 2003 timeframe ( link ), so I'm guessing she had a pretty good handle by the time she met PK in 2006. Being somewhat of a genius and all that. Looks like he began his bachelors that same year ( pdf link ). All things considered, I could see them getting into discussions about his "research." Or rather, I can't see her *not* having an opinion about his research.

Another thought...

It has occurred to me that the murder has less to do with any sort of sex or even paramour angle. In fact, in this sort of scenario, the sex angle would have been staged to throw LE off. Get them to thinking some deranged sex offender murdered Audrey. The overkill would be key. Bc even staging cannot hide that. Overkill generally, though not always, indicates rage. So, how might that fit in this proposed scenario? When considering JH's blog article ( link ), the Spec articles ( link ), and the comments posted, here, by people who either knew and/or relayed 3rd hand info about Audrey, a pseudo-profile emerges suggesting that Audrey was bossy. Moreover, she knew she was brilliant and she may not have let others forget that. Whether accurate or not, she certainly was no shrinking violet. With this in mind, is it possible she bossed and/or condescended someone one too many times and they snapped?

This would not be an excuse, of course. Simply a possible trajectory of events.

Thanks! I totally buy that. But who spent enough time around her to feel bossed around too many times?

The bound copy of a paper by PK to AG has been quoted a few times. I'm sorry but I'm not sure exactly what paper this was before her death and who the source of info is.

What I'm having trouble with is, if PK presented a paper in June 2011, would he have had it bound and presented to someone prior to Christmas 2010? I realize it has to be submitted in some manner many months before presentation, but does one have to submit it bound? What if a few tweeks are necessary before presentation?

From what we've been told, AG spent time with her female friend LV; with her weekly coffee group; with PK; with various people studying at Mohawk College and perhaps other places where AG took classes.

That's all that comes to mind. Well, and the Camaro dealership and she'd obviously need a mechanic for regular maintenance.

I hear ya! The timing seems off to me as well.:twocents:

The paper PK allegedly bound and presented to Audrey was a 40-page Master's Thesis. The paper the reporter cited in the article was a 2-page presentation he and the co-author gave at a San Diego ACM conference in June 2011.

That aside, I was a tad surprised he had finished his masters thesis by, at the very latest, December of 2010. Esp considering he had just graduated from the bachelor's program in May of 2010. Generally, even accelerated masters programs take at least a year, with the culmination involving defending the thesis. So, to graduate in May, get married in June, and finish a masters thesis by fall seems, well... odd. But, at this point, I only have his word to go on. And he told me the masters is what he bound and gave to Audrey.

Anyway, hope that helps to clarify. Am sure, if/when he has time, he can always pop on here to correct.

Busy guy! And he also had time to email AG a great deal and to help her on her property!!:crazy:

It doesn't look as though PK has time to return here to answer our questions and speak about the discrepancies.:waitasec:
